No that's not what I said at all. I said I have the ability to dispute, not that I am disputing, because in the end the truth of those claims don't matter one bit and that outcomes for people is the only thing that matters. Huge difference.

Now you are completely dodging the point that your attitude only causes bad outcomes for real people, while simultaneously accusing me of "propaganda". You aren't even denying that in the end you don't care about the wellbeing of people at all, and that we're just cannon fodder in your holy fight against the CCP.

I am sorry for not wanting myself or anybody else to become such cannon fodder. That is not "saving face", that is preventing people's faces from getting slammed on the streets, and preventing a bomb from being dropped on my aunt! As such, I will continue to protest your attitude.

You've also broken the site guidelines in this thread and continued to do exactly what we asked you not do to in the past. I'm not going to ban your account right now because (a) I don't think you broke the guidelines quite as badly as the other account did in this thread (though I haven't read it closely), (b) I understand what it's like to be representing a minority view, and (c) we haven't given you nearly as many past warnings. But you're seriously breaking the HN guidelines here and we've warned you before. If you keep this up, we're going to end up having to ban you as well.

Also, when I look through your comments, it seems that you've been using HN primarily for political and ideological battle. That's another line at which we ban accounts, because that's absolutely not the intended use of this site. If your primary interest is to argue about politics and national/ethnic/ideological struggles, HN is not the site you're looking for. Please don't keep doing this.
